About Hugh Myddelton Primary School

Hugh Myddelton Primary School in Islington has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2017, and an ungraded inspection in January 2024 confirmed the school remains Outstanding. That’s a notable turnaround from its previous graded inspection in 2015, when it was judged to require improvement. The school’s early years provision, leadership and management, and overall effectiveness all received the top grade of 1 (Outstanding) in the 2017 inspection. On the most informative exam metric available, Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24 show that 87% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is well above the Islington local authority average of 68% and places the school 4th out of 39 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 5% of primaries locally.
